Me: It took me years to realize that “Discipline and Punish” Foucault and “giant pendulum” Foucault were different people
Friend, with some ha-ha-but-kinda-serious horror and exasperation: Wait, there are TWO Foucaults?
This is me, except with “fast Fourier transform” Fourier and “utopian socialism” Fourier.
It would be even fourier if there were four of them, but I guess they are not quite that foury.
According to Wikipedia, there’s also “Catholic Saint” Fourier, but no fourth Fourier. Which is fitting, as though they’re Fourier, they’re not the Fouriest.
